Walk to Machu Picchu in the Footsteps of the Incas - Tour Extension
Summary
4 Days / 3 NightsAt once challenging and thrilling, the classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is a trek you’ll never forget. Winding past fertile river valleys, ancient Inca ruins, steep terraces, and vertiginous Andes slopes, the Inca Trail takes you deep into the Sacred Valley of the Incas, from where the Inca Empire ruled during the 13th and 14th centuries. The Inca Road system was highly developed and was one of the keys to the Inca’s success in managing an expansive empire. You’ll experience what it was like to walk in the footsteps of the Inca on this 4 day, 3 night Inca Trail tour, starting in the heart of the Sacred Valley, and finishing at the spectacular city in the sky called Machu Picchu. Note: This is a tour extension, combine this tour with one of our full package tours. View more Machu Picchu Hiking Tours

Highlights |
Hike on through the trail the mighty Incas used to follow to go to the Machu Picchu Sanctuary. Stop for lunch in Miskay. VisitΒ the archeological site of Llactapata, or Patallacta. This impressive Inca site boasts steep terraces, many in pristine condition despite of the centuries of aging and neglection. Many of the ruins along the Inca Trail were “tambos,” or rest stops for travelers along the Inca Trail. In the evening, set up camp near Wayllabamba, a small farming village of about 400 people, and enjoy dinner with your fellow trekkers.
After lunch and a break, continue on to the campsite at Pacaymayu near the Pacaymayu River, to have dinner and a well-deserved rest.
Explore the rest of Machu Picchu at your leisure, taking time to visit the Watchman’s Hut, the steep terraces, and the many impressive views of this huge city in the foothills of the cloud forest. In the afternoon, take the bus down to Aguas Calientes for a buffet lunch and free time to enjoy the town before returning to Cuzco by train.
If you have an additional day to spare, we recommend spending the night at a hotel in Aguas Calientes, and returning to Cuzco the next day.
